- Abstract
- Concerns over poverty and health inequality are growing in South Korea. Using advanced statistical methods including lagged-dependent variable and fixed-effects approaches, we investigated whether experiencing material hardship (MH) was associated with self-rated health (SRH) among low-income households in South Korea. This study found that the experience of MH was positively associated with higher likelihood of reporting poor SRH (OR=1.42, p<.05) and that experiencing two or more items of MH presented more harmful influence on SRH (OR=2.02, p<.001). This study also found that the negative association between MH and SRH was stronger among the unemployed households.
